I've hated it since I lost my beloved Whalers, but I hate it even more now that the ex-Whalers won the Cup and the Pens (great small market team) are moving. Go to hell, Gary Bettman.<BR/><BR/>Grievance #2: Will Al Davis hurry up and die? <BR/><BR/>Grievance #3: I'm still really happy about my alma mater's great football season, but WHY couldn't we have beaten Cincinatti to go to the Orange Bowl?? The Texas Bowl sucks.<BR/><BR/>Grievance #4: The World Cup was really fun for a couple weeks and the prelim rounds seemed pretty wild, but all those 0-0 ties really sucked the life outta the thing. I love to play soccer in my rec league with our 7-5 or 9-8 etc. scores, but the real thing sucks.<BR/><BR/>Grievance #5: TMQ does suck, and I'm a former fan who's had comments posted in the article.<BR/><BR/>Grievance #6: I don't think people should be bashing Simmons for letting his wife write in the articles. She's pretty funny. And I like to imagine what she looks like. She's a runner, I bet she's pretty hot. Or at least used to be before the kid.<BR/><BR/>Grievance #7: I hate Christmas. <BR/><BR/>Happy Festivus!Ingrid and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839516417267884278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1166818603240098762006-12-22T15:16:00.000-05:002006-12-22T15:16:00.000-05:001.
